zed out a gap, Ye Fan couldn't help swallowing his saliva and wanted to put his finger in to test the depth of that gap.But thinking about Liu Qin tending to his wounds right now, he decisively gave u...Seeing the head of the Sanguchi Group, Sato Ichiro, sitting in the chairman's position with a perpetually sullen face, all the bigwigs dared not speak, let alone whisper to each other. Instead, they each sat solemnly in their places, waiting for the meeting to begin.

As if waiting for someone, Satoshi Ichiro did not hastily announce the start of the meeting, but instead flipped through a document in his hand.

Just at that moment, Sato Ichiro's secretary pushed open the door and hurried to Sato Ichiro's side, bending down to whisper a few words in his ear.

Throughout the entire time, Sato Ichiro didn't speak a word, only his face grew increasingly grim.

After finishing her words, the secretary respectfully bowed and then backed out of the meeting room, gently closing the door behind her.

Only after the secretary left did Sato Ichiro cough.

Alright everyone, the meeting is about to begin!

And Fujiwara Kazuo, the chief advisor of the three-man group who had been sitting beside Sato Ichiro throughout the meeting, remained silent. Originally, such meetings were always presided over by him. However, seeing his cold and gloomy face at this time, everyone could already guess what was going on.

While sitting opposite him, Kawarai So, though also sporting a cold expression, had a slight smirk playing at the corner of his lips. It was a sneer that was both aloof and smug.

"I've called you all back together." At that moment, Sato Ichirō spoke up. "As you've probably guessed. That's right, all the ninjas we sent to South Africa on a mission, including Jonin Aoki Ono and top-tier Chunin Okamoto Tarō, are dead."

By this point, his face had turned extremely ugly.

Although the loss of these dozen or so ninjas was like a drop in the bucket for the Sanin. After all, there was one Jonin and one top-tier Chunin. Especially Jonin Aoi Oono, who was still responsible for the Ninja Academy. Such a heavy blow was undeniable.

More importantly, everyone thought this mission was too easy. Who could have imagined that so many people would be lost For the three-person team, this is not only a loss of strength, but also a blow to their reputation!

If this gets out, who knows what kind of negative impact it will have on the organization.

Although all the bigwigs present had already guessed what happened, when they heard it personally from President Sato, everyone's complexion changed drastically. From the initial silence to the current whispers and private conversations that grew louder and louder.

"President, I think someone needs to take responsibility for this." At that moment, Kawadai Sora spoke up loudly. After speaking, he glanced at Fujiwara Kazuhiro and then said directly: "Advisor Fujiwara, in order to avenge his son, you went so far as to mislead everyone with fake information, making us easily believe your words and think that our opponent was weak. This resulted in such huge losses."

"Kawadai Kyou spoke directly, naming names. After finishing his statement, he coldly glanced at Fujiwara Ikawa once more before falling silent. "

After he finished speaking, the discussion below became even louder. Many people agreed with his suggestion, but several bigwigs from different regions seemed to disagree with him.

Upon hearing Kawarai Sora's words, Fujiwara Ika's face turned ashen. He opened his mouth to retort, but caught sight of President Sato giving him a discreet signal. He swallowed the words that were about to leave his lips. Nevertheless, he still glared at Kawarai Sora with malice.

“If responsibility is to be taken, the greatest burden likely falls on me.” Just then, President Sato unexpectedly stood up and bowed deeply to all the bigwigs. After finishing this, he did not sit down, but instead continued, his face grave: “Mr. Fujiwara’s suggestion is not wrong, and our San-kō group is not some small cat or dog to be ridden on and bullied. Even so, our information was correct, that young man from China had already been kicked out of the Ye family. The only thing we didn't anticipate was his friendship with that arms dealer, Andre.”

What

When Mr. Sato uttered those words, the people who had been stunned into silence and were about to apologize collectively erupted in chaos.

Our office in South Africa is already investigating this matter. However, from the information we have so far: this young Chinese man has a very close relationship with Andre. The ninjas we sent out were the ones who received Andre's surprise attack.

After the murmur of discussion among the crowd had subsided slightly, the president continued yesterday.

At this point, the crowd gradually calmed down, each pondering the implications of this event. How could this young man from the Huaxia Empire be so close to Andrei, the arms dealer from Tsarist Russia After all, Andrei was known for never easily making friends, let alone being so generous.

However, since Andrei and this young man had such a good relationship, it was easy to understand why Andrei suddenly stopped cooperating with the San-kō group. Because at that time, Ye Fan had just killed the son of Fujiwara Ikeda.

To know this piece not only brought a large number of weapons and profits to the three-person group, but also brought Andre a lot of business. And Andre, such a stingy person, actually cut off his own path to wealth for a young man from China.

If this arms dealer, Andre, had made a move, these ninjas would have been wiped out entirely. However, they still couldn't accept it, that even top-level Jonin, Okamoto, was killed. If they were escaping, almost no one could stop Okamoto.

"President, is this matter certain now" Kawadai Sora asked again. When it came to the interests of their own organization, he no longer had any mind for the struggle he'd had with Fujiwara Iko before. If things were truly confirmed, they would have to prioritize the bigger picture and discuss countermeasures.

"This investigation encountered many difficulties. And all the evidence was destroyed. This information was pieced together through various information chains." Sato Ichiro sighed slightly, then continued: "Currently, the head of the Johnfort underworld has also changed hands. The original grizzly leader, Johnny, is also missing. Also, their country's Speaker, Old Sami, died in a fire of unknown cause."

This time, everyone fell silent.

They didn't know exactly what was going on, but just listening to President Sato speak about it, they could tell that there was definitely a major conspiracy hidden beneath the surface. And, several things were definitely connected...

This information is already public knowledge. After all, the two massive fires are impossible to hide. Especially with the Grizzlies being wiped out overnight and Johnny disappearing, these things can't be covered up.

While some people see these things as isolated incidents, others look for clues and connections between them.

At this time, the door of the meeting room was once again pushed open. The secretary from before hurried in once again...Just now being touched by Ye Fan like that, her body felt an irresistible craving and discomfort. Especially below, it was flowing with moisture. Her own... were already damp."Whew," Wang Yan couldn'...
